Can't run php bin/magento

Question

Trying to set up a site from production (new to Magento and doing some fixes) and getting this error when running php bin/magento

We're sorry, an error occurred. Try clearing the cache and code generation directories. By default, they are: var/cache, var/di, var/generation, and var/page_cache.

[Magento\Framework\Exception\NoSuchEntityException] No such entity.

From my troubleshooting so far, I have gathered that the error is being thrown because the website ID is not set or associated.

Magento\Framework\Exception\NoSuchEntityException: 
No such entity. in /htdocs/vendor/magento/module-
store/Model/WebsiteRepository.php:104

Run these commands below, the key is removing the var/* folders.

alias mage="php -d memory_limit=-1 -f bin/magento"    
chmod -R 775 pub/static/ pub/media/ var/
chmod +x bin/magento
rm -rf var/view_preprocessed/ var/cache/ var/page_cache/ var/di/ var/tmp/ var/generation/ pub/static/frontend/ ;
mage setup:upgrade 
mage cache:flush 
mage setup:static-content:deploy -j 10
mage setup:di:compile
mage deploy:mode:set production -s
mage maintenance:disable
